KEW AMERICAN LETTUCE— THE COPPERHEAD. 



The Mongolian Lettuce 



A NEW VARIETY FROM ASIA 



Some of the very best and most popular let- 

 tuces grown in America to-day were originally 

 brought from Asia, and after numerous trials of 

 many foreign varieties at Fioracroft Trial 

 Grounds, this has proven decidedly the best as a 

 .variety for spring and fall planting outdoors. In 

 delicate flavor and crispness it is all that could be 

 desired, and it will amply repay everyone who 

 plants it for the home table. Perpkt., 15c.; oz., 

 35c.; ilb., Sl.OO; lb., $3.50. 



WHAT OTHERS SAY OF IT 



EoBT. Little, Chipola, La, writes : " I had great success 

 with your New Lettuce from Asia (tlieMongohan) ; it makes 

 the finest, crispest heads and of the most delicate flavor 

 of any I liave ever raised." 



Wm. JIiLLEB, Brookland, D. C, writes: "New Lettuce 

 from Asia (the jMongolian), is a superb outdoor kind; 

 lieads eaily, very hirge, and of the very finest quality. 



A NEW AMERICAN 

 LETTUCE 



NOW CALLED 



The Copperhead 



Our attention was first called 

 to this valuable new lettuce by 

 Messrs. C. C. Morse & Co., the 

 largest lettuce growers of Califor- 

 nia, at whose suggestion we liave 

 named ij The Copperhead. We 

 secured seed from them last j'ear 

 and distributed several thousand 

 packages for trial among our cus- 

 tomers, and there has been but 

 one verdict from all: "One of 

 the handsomest, finest, crispestand 

 best flavored lettuces ever grown." 

 Our photo alongside shows its 

 handsome form, but not its very 

 distinct coloring, which is a light 

 brown outside and a beautiful light 

 pink inside, giving a rare and 

 beautiful contrast to the leaves. 

 Pkt., 15c ; oz., 40c.; i lb., $1.00; 

 lb., 13.75.
